Why is shark protection or marine conservation important to you?

We come from the sea, and we live from the sea. If the sea dies, then the human being dies.


Do you have any special skills, experiences or adventures?

  • With the SharkSafe Barrier project, I support the fight against culling, shark nets and hook lines.
  • As a diver (IANTD Instructor, first dives with compressed air in 1976), the protection of the underwater world is especially close to my heart.


And which is your favourite shark?

Carcharodon carcharias (lat.)

Großer Weißer Hai (dt.)

Great white shark (engl.)

Most people are bad.
